: My good friend sent this to me and it made me laugh. If you are a computer whizz that never has problems with your computer, you might not understand this need to have others fail at things you can't get a real grip on. Me?? It made ME feel A LOT BETTER to know that these illustrious men, drawing up something as important as the Declaration of Independence, might have had problems with their computers too, had they had them then!! Enjoy! :o)

: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

:  Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen, the summer grows hot, and it is essential
:  that we complete this declaration of independence.
:  
:  Mr. Franklin: Wait a minute, Thomas. I have to reboot here.
:  
:  Mr. Jefferson: That's all right, Ben. We'll go on without you. Has
:  everyone had a chance to look at the draft I posted yesterday?
:  
:  Mr. Sherman: Not yet, Thomas, I've been having Notes replication
:  problems.
:  
:  Mr. Adams: Here, Roger, I brought a hard copy.
:  
:  Mr. Sherman: Thanks. Saaaaay, nice font.
:  
:  Mr. Adams: Do you like it? I downloaded it off Colonies Online just
:  last week.
:  
:  Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen! There is work to be done. I fear our
:  document will soon leak out.
:  
:  Mr. Livingston: Too late, Thomas. There's already a bootleg
:  circulating. I saw it posted on alt.georgeIII.sucks last night.
:  
:  Mr. Franklin: @#$$%^$# General Protection Fault!
:  
:  Mr. Adams: Ben, you might try upgrading to Windows 75. It solved
:  that problem for me.
:  
:  Mr. Sherman: Thomas, the part here about the Acts of Pretended
:  Legislation; have you considered using bullets to air out the text?
:  
:  Mr. Jefferson: I can fix that easily enough. Drat! I've spilled
:  candle wax on my keyboard again.
:  
:  Mr. Adams: You know, Thomas, that wouldn't happen if you'd buy an
:  active-matrix screen.
:  
:  Mr. Franklin: Hard-disk failure?!? Aw, criminy!
:  
:  Mr. Livingston: Are you sure it's "unalienable rights"? My spell
:  checker recommends "unassailable".
:  
:  Mr. Jefferson: Can we stick to the substance of the document,
:  please? Shoot. Low battery. Anyone got a spare power cable?
:  
:  Mr. Sherman: What have you got, a Toshiba? No, mine isn't
:  compatible.
:  
:  Mr. Franklin: Hello, PCs Philadelphia? What does it mean when the
:  floppy drive buzzes? OK, I'll hold.....
:  
:  Mr. Livingston: The "In Congress" part here at the top; have you
:  thought about blowing that up really big and maybe centering it in
:  72 point Helvetica?
:  
:  Mr. Jefferson: Not a bad idea. Aw, nuts! Word macro virus! I can't
:  save the file.
:  
:  Mr. Franklin: That's all right, Thomas. We can manage. Here, borrow
:  my quill pen....
